Courageous: Coming to Theaters on …
 | The release date for COURAGEOUS, the next movie from the creators of Fireproof, Facing the Giants, and Flywheel has been set: September 30, 2011. What can we expect when it opens? According to Ben Howard, Senior Vice President of Provident Films: “We pray that starting on September 30, COURAGEOUS will do for families and fathers what Fireproof did for marriages – provide great movie entertainment with a strong example of God’s guidelines for working through the many ups and downs of life’s most meaningful relationships. We believe that COURAGEOUS will help draw men to leadership in their families, and as the Bible says, ‘turn the hearts of the fathers to their children, and the hearts of the children to their fathers.’ Our hope is that it will inspire people to create a powerful family legacy that will love for generations to come.” Watch the Heart of COURAGEOUS video |
